Introduction

Your stay at the Cabell House puts you at the heart of the Old South just steps away from the High Battery and views of Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter, South Carolina.

A stroll up lovely brick paved Church Street to stately Broad Street and on to the famous Market Street area offers a variety of unique shops, unforgettable restaurants, and lively night spots.

Inside this charming Charleston family home, the antique furnishings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and broad verandas create an elegant restful environment. Our large guest rooms have comfy king sized beds, with the finest linens, private baths, cable TV and all the amenities. There is plenty of free parking and a soothing back courtyard garden to spend time in as well.

Weddings and Events

The Historic Cabell House is a perfect setting for a gathering of friends and family for any occasion or special event like a Wedding or Family Reunion or Important Birthday. Offering grace and elegance combined with attention to detail in a lovely historic home with tiered side porches and garden patio, you'll find you and your loved ones right at home in the heart of Charleston.

You may choose to rent the entire Cabell House for your special get together; and what better way to be together, than to stay together as our five complete units offer every amenity in charming proximity. The Wedding Ceremony can be held in the parlor or on the patio in our garden, then have your catered reception on the tiered porch and in the gathering room. Or after rehearsal, sit down for an intimate dinner in the dining room. Invite friends and family to join you at breakfast as your guests.
Please contact us for rental details, and to reserve the dates today.

We have wonderful recommendations for small weddings; planners, caterers, florists and event specialists to coordinate all of your activity while we provide the special space.

Area Attractions

The tip of Charleston's Peninsula with White Point Gardens & Battery Park is located just across the street. A walk on the Battery Wall looking out to the harbour to take in the sensational views is a guest favorite. Or, stroll up our lovely brick paved Church Street to stately Broad Street, and then on to the famous Market Street area which offers a variety of unique shops, unforgettable restaurants, the city market and lively night spots.
The Cabell House is the perfect starting and ending point to wander through dozens of nearby art galleries, antique shops, historic homes and marvelous gardens. Shopping opportunities abound on King Street and elsewhere, and there is no end to the tremendous local restaurants to delight your palate for lunch or supper.
Carriage rides, ghost tours, dinner cruises, and boat excursions in the Charleston Harbor are available all year round.

Atlantic Ocean beaches are less than a half an hour's drive - both to the north and south of the city. The Isle of Palms is most often the family friendly choice of our guests to enjoy the shore and swimming, boating, sailing, kite boating, body boarding and surfing.

There is so much to do here: plantations, the South Carolina Aquarium, so many museums, and of course, daily tours to Fort Sumter or on the Yorktown and other battle ships in the harbor. Special events and high profile happenings like the Spoleto Festival are becoming more prevalent as Charleston has taken its place as the most visited city in our nation. And for good reason, we know what hospitality is all about - and it starts right here at 8 Church Street.
